The Obama administration followed up a planeload of $400 million in cash sent to Iran in January with two more such shipments in the next 19 days, totaling another $1.3 billion, according to congressional officials briefed by the U.S. State, Treasury and Justice departments.

The cash payments—made in Swiss francs, euros and other currencies—settled a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal dating back to 1979. U.S. officials have acknowledged the payment of the first $400 million coincided with Iran’s release of American prisoners and was used as leverage to ensure they were flown out of Tehran’s Mehrabad on the morning of Jan. 17.

It is against US policy to pay ransom for hostages, for the excellent reason that it only results in more hostages. In this case it was also against US law. But American laws and policies are not binding on Obama, who conducts his own foreign policy by unilateral decree — and not on our behalf.

Iran has been at war with the United States since 1979. This may be why the attempted revolution in Iran in 2009 received zero support from Obama. In contrast, Obama backed the overthrow of the leaders of Egypt and Libya, both of whom were working with the USA against Islamic terrorism. Obama sees it as his role to reduce the stature of the racist and neocolonialist United States; he is accomplishing this by enabling our most committed enemy.

The $1.7 billion of our money Obama showered down upon the ayatollahs is in addition to the $100 billion in freed assets they received as part of the treaty he rammed through (without constitutionally mandated Senate ratification) that will facilitate Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. Much if not all of the money will go toward financing Iran’s terror war against the USA.

Many Americans will die as an eventual consequence of Obama’s actions.

It’s treason but not in the minds of moonbats because they don’t recognize treason. To them treason does not exist, because they live in a fantasy of borderless lands and One-World harmony.
To a moonbat, nations are just social constructs (a bit like genders) and what ever fantasy a moonbat has, we all have to share that same fantasy. Because moonbats know best,right?
Obama will never be charged with treason because the illuminati that control him don’t want him to be charged with treason, because Muslims benefit from his treason, and because the moonbats that support him don’t believe in treason!

“Many Americans will die as an eventual consequence of Obama’s actions.”

And even more Iranians, and Islamics in general. The longer the Progressive Transnationalists put off dealing with assorted violent camel-pesterers, the worse the reckoning is going to have to be. The Proggies covered their eyes in horror while Bush waged a limited war by limited means for limited ends. The longer they prevent us from following up on that, the greater the likelihood that what will happen is war to the knife. After which the Arabian Peninsula will be a completely uninhabitable sheet of glass, as opposed to now, when it is a largely uninhabitable pile of sand.

Trust me on this: YES, IT’S TRUE — in OBOZOland there is still a GOPe-RINO-controlled Congress !!!! Of course, this is all they do, while OBOZO destroys the country and commits horrific acts of treason

I’m calling it out. Torcer is a DNC planted troll. He’s one of her Soros funded “army of trolls” out to plant propaganda that directly influences NTs and unless his daily steaming pile of propaganda isn’t cut off I am lead to believe that Blount is on the DNC take as well. It’s just pathetic.http://moonbattery.com/?p=75837#comment-2874199894

IF you are going to make such an incendiary and FALSE accusation you had better be ready to back it up with FACTS to prove your FALSE accusation.

These facts will be in the form of EXCERPTS and Links from the proper sources in your answer.

And please note merely repeating the same incendiary and FALSE accusation will still prove nothing.

Something OTHER than the falsehood perpetrated by KirklesWorth based on the mere data on what articles are recommended here. Clearly we have a case of someone taking data that is correct and twisting into something false on a baseless notion.
